Ajay Green, the veteran wide receiver who retired after a 12-year NFL career, is speaking

out after the tragic suicide of his former teammate, Rondale Moore last month.

Green spent his final two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals alongside the young receiver

who they treated like family.

Moore had suffered major preseason injuries the past two years, which kept him from playing

and led to deep depression.

Earlier this week, Green shared his thoughts in a player-focused publication.

He pointed out how physical setbacks often hit players hard mentally, and the league

needs to step up its support.

People close to Moore noted his growing struggles after back-to-back injuries sideline

him.

Green says this highlights a bigger issue in the NFL, where mental health gets overlooked

amid physical rehab.

Green pushes for mandatory independent counseling for any major injury and longer sessions

after a second one.

Even post-rehab, he wants teams to make seeking mental health help feel normal, not a weakness.

The NFL and its teams now face calls to act on these ideas.

Green's message underscores the human side of the game, urging real changes to protect

players.
